Whitlock on PTI


CRA

Recommended Posts

I disagree agree with lots of his junk but he made a comment today I have believed for years....

There is a difference between Brees and the other big 3 he gets lumped into. Brees is good for about 3 WTF are you thinking throws or gambles a game. He will turn the ball over.

Whitlock is right that nationally that gets swept under the rug and no one mentions.

For example since Newton has entered the NFL.....the relatively raw and gambling youngster only has 5 more turnovers compared to Brees who is at the peak/prime of his career.

People may claim Newton is doing better but overall is has been viewed as someone who hasn't taken care of the ball well?

Brees? No one talks about it.....and he isn't on par with Brady, Rodgers, Peyton in that regard.

not really fair to compare his turnovers to cams given the disparity in pass attempts between them

When you factor in the number of hits Cam has taken since entering the NFL....I think it is fair.

He has 335 rush attempts to even out the opportunities for turnover

I can't tell if this is serious

Yes.

Brees doesn't protect the ball as well as the group of QBs he automatically gets lumped into.....and no one ever mentions that.

To beat him....you need to capitalize on that IMO.

He brings the same deadly passing threat....but has more hiccups than the other elite guys

I read something today that I couldn't believe and don't know if true, but unbelievable if true-no QB under 6' has been drafted in the first two rounds in over 60 years. Brees is BARELY considered 6', Wilson is under 6' by a good bit. Doesn't guarantee anything but a shocking stat about the difficulties of a "short" QB and the odds of them succeeding long term.

    • I am no football savant as has been demonstrated here over and over, but I saw it.  I went for years doing the mock draft thing and researching the players that we might get around our pick, time consuming stuff. And we would get to the draft and trade the pick. All that time, wasted.  So I quit doing that. Also realized I was not a scout and would never be a scout and went to looking the videos and reports After  we picked a guy.  Maybe I would look at the 1st round, but quit that too and just looked after we picked.    When they did that trade I saw Bryce and his size and just ruled him out. Then it got to yeah they are probably going to take him, I relented and looked at some video and got to his pro day. It took me all of a few minutes to see the issues. The footwork. The arm. And the tape of games? The backyard style. I knew, what can I say?  (Also, went down the physical checklist, not a single plus attribute on the NFL level. Arm, speed, size, etc, nothing to offset the negatives. nothing)  I think it was easy for me because I had not watched a single game he played in college,and wasn’t drawn in by the hype. Had no preconceived notions and just looked at it pretty clinically.  I got in here and everyone was going “but look at what he did in college! It is the SEC, if he can do it in the SEC he can do it in the NFL!” Couldn’t reason with hardly anyone.  I don’t think I could tell you which guy would succeed between two prototypical guys with great arms and athleticism, and have no special insight into any of that. My one calling in football scouting was to see the real about what we were about to do. And you still don’t know for sure until they get in a real game in the NFL. 
    • Miss Bryce sorely is possibly the most hilarious statement I have read on the Huddle in quite some time.
    • He did only throw 1 pass 20+ in that game. I think he is still struggling to adjust to the NFL. At Alabama he was able to extend plays and play backyard football. That's not only not the style of offense we have been running but his physical skills don't lend themselves to that style of play at this level.  So, the amount of issues he actually has to clean up are WAAAAAY more than I anticipated as a guy that had Bryce #1 on my board in that draft class.  I am just not seeing a reasonable path for him to clean it all up and develop in a reasonable timeframe
